The initiative, developed with ModCorr, added 504 maximum-security beds across eight housing units at five GDC facilities and 20 medical beds in the new infirmary. The 4,800-square-foot infirmary is designed to provide dedicated medical treatment space for incarcerated individuals, reducing the need for transportation to outside providers. According to GDC Commissioner Tyrone Oliver, modular construction is expected to remain a key part of the department’s long-term capital strategy.
